My mom used to sing this little ditty while I was waiting for her to make my mac 'n' cheese which seemed like it took way longer than the 10 minutes the box claims it takes:

Be patient. Be patient.

Don't be in such a hurry.

When you get impatient, you only start to worry. Remember, remember that God is patient too.

Just think of all the times when others have to wait for you.

A few of you have been asking me when I will be posting the pillow buddy tutorial. Maybe there are others out there who are wondering but don't want to ask. So here's the update . . .

I am working on the tutorial. I promise. My problem is that I'm impatient . . . maybe even more impatient than when I was at the age of five waiting for my mac 'n' cheese. I don't want to sit down and type out a tutorial when my brain is swimming with ideas for my recent t-shirt refashion fixation. I'm working on the tutorial a little bit each night, and I hope to have it up and ready for your viewing pleasure as early as next Monday and as late as next Friday.

Here's the preview of what's to come:

Hmmm . . . what's missing here?

Obviously, I still have an issue with the kitty pillow buddy. I have tried six or seven different eye options, and none of them are exactly what I want. Any ideas?

My mom made all of us kids animal blankets--shaped blankets with stuffed animal heads--and she used marble-type eyes like these on Amazon. They look great and they won't come off easily -- both of my cat's eyes are still firmly attached 10+ years later.

I really like the texture of the kitty fur--so cuddly! I must have been laughing too hard at the upside down head before to appreciate the material. :) Good luck with your tutorial!

Round 3d type buttons, maybe green. My daughter would die if she saw these!Stopping by to let you know I have moved to a new domain. You can see me at www.nothingbutfabulousity.comI have numerous giveaways, polls, and contests. Here is the sad part, with my move it appears I have lost all my comments. So if you have entered into anything I actually need you to zoom back and re-comment. If you havent entered into any of them, what are you waiting for? Get your butt over there!! HA! Site is under construction so please be patient. Stay Fabulous Chara www.nothingbutfabulousity.com

Hi! I'm visiting from New Friend Friday w/ The Girl Creative & Trendy Treehouse! I can relate to you very much in that a couple of months ago I began cooking in the hopes to become a better cook even though I have no idea what I'm doing. I can't wait to take a look around your blog. These pillows are adorable! I admire that you are becoming so talented. I don't own a sewing machine, but maybe someday! :)

Well, if you can't figure out the eyes, what about just eyelashes and closed eyes? Just sew a stretched out u somewhere. You can test it with some thread first. Put in a few lashes with embroidery floss, either stitched in or made into a fringe.

We sing that song here too! My kids are crazy for pillow pets. they would freak out if I made them one. I can wait for the tutorial, only five months until christmas and I do everything last minute anyway :)

Stopping in from New Friend Friday @ Trendy Treehouse... I love this blog! Very awesome Idea! Good luck with your projects.. I can't wait to see how the remainder of your creations turn out, so i'm definitely following! Awesome :)

I see our brains work in the same fashion =) These are adorable and I can't wait for the tutorial! {that is when you brain decides to give you a break..lol} Super cute! Thanks so much for joining The Sunday Showcase - I greatly apprecite it! Hope you have a great week! ~ Stephanie Lynn

blogging manners

I try to teach my kids good manners. I'm not sure how successful I've been though. But when I hear them say "please" or "thank you", I know my persistence is paying off. I try to use good manners on my blog too . . . giving credit where credit is due by linking back to projects or ideas from other crafty bloggers. I ask you to do the same. If, in some rare instance, you are inspired enough to blog about something I tried or use an idea you find here, please link back to me (if it's my idea) or the original blogger. Feel free to use my original ideas and tutorials for personal use only (gifts or self) not for profit!
